Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat (approximately 450°F or 232°C). Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Marinate the Steaks: Rub the New York strip steaks on both sides with Worcestershire sauce. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Grill the Steaks: Place the steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on desired doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the center reaches 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium. (12-14 minutes)

04

Step

Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the grill, wrap them loosely in two layers of aluminum foil, and let them rest in a warm place for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Prepare the Cherry Sauce: While the steaks are grilling, in a saucepan, bring the red wine to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the wine by half, which should take about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Add Cherries and Vanilla: Stir in the pitted and halved fresh cherries (or rehydrated dried cherries), sugar, and vanilla extract. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer until the cherries are tender and the sauce begins to thicken slightly, about 5-7 minutes. (5-7 minutes)

07

Step

Thicken the Sauce: In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the cold water to create a slurry. Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering cherry sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Serve: Slice the rested New York strip steaks against the grain. Drizzle generously with the warm vanilla cherry sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For a richer sauce, add a pat of butter at the end.
Pair this dish with roasted asparagus or garlic mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
If using dried cherries, rehydrate them by soaking in warm red wine for at least 30 minutes before adding them to the sauce.
